Jean-Jacques Taylor, Cowboys insider for NBC 5 in Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS-TV) and host of J Dub City 9 a.m.-1 p.m. weekdays on 103.3 KESN-FM, answered your questions in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights.

Question: After seeing Yu Darvish sign a six-year, $126 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, did the Rangers make the right choice passing on him?

JJT: If I had told you before the season that the Rangers could‘ve signed Yu Darvish for $21 million a year over six years, I have no doubt all Rangers‘ fans would‘ve jumped on it. And I’m convinced the Rangers would‘ve signed him if they were ready to compete for an AL West title or a playoff spot. But they‘re not. It would be a waste of money to sign Darvish this year and spend that money on a team and a rotation that‘s not ready to win.

JJT: JD has been around long enough that if he thought the Rangers had a chance to win it all, he‘d go for it. Frankly, the farm system is in disrepair because he went for it 3-4 times in the past few years. Maybe, owners are tired of spending huge money on spare players. Or, maybe, they‘re tired of watching dudes struggle to justify their contracts. You‘re worth what someone will pay. Sooner or later, the guys who are worthy will get paid.

Question: Should the Rangers bring back Andrew Cashner on a one-year deal?

JJT: Seriously, does it matter? He was 11-11 with a 3.40 ERA with 157 hits in 156 innings and 116 strikeouts. He was solid, and he‘d probably be solid again. But if this year is really about developing and making another run in 2019 or 2020, I‘d just as soon save the cash. If you think you can make the playoffs - and the Rangers haven‘t shown us that from their actions then I‘d pass.
